SLOW!!
These are the furthest ahead.
Unheated &, until 5 days ago, never abve 45F at night. Now 50-60F.
You might think they are slow Tim, but they are long way ahead of mine, grown in the same conditions and which havn't set their first truss yet.
I haven't got any trusses yet either, just transplanted to final position today!
???
... and I sowed a second lot last week, so they will be a little further behind! ;)
I have just got my first flowers ...
Tim, Tim, I've got one too, I've got my first tomato !!!! its about the size of a 20 pence piece, but looks very fine just the same.
So excited - my first tomato !!! :D :D :D
;D
I have four tiny Tumbler toms in my hanging basket! The Constulutos and others in the greenhouse are just starting to flower, cannot wait!
;)

Puzzled of Peterborough replies: what's selective feeding please? :-[
Presumably that annoying period when you are feeding some things & not others?
Can't wait until ALL the water can have food in it & then it's done through a dilutor.
At present it's can after can & my hip's killing me!
Thanks to Tim I have my first 3 tiny tomastoes on my Big Boy, plus another 3 trusses and trusses on my Moneymakers and Golden Sunrise. I'm soooo excited :D

Would this help, tim?
Filled with water of course, not suggesting you'd enjoy refreshments to take your mind off the watering ;)
I'm afraid to say that alcohol does ease it!!
whoops tim, I forgot to put in the link :-[

but it'll set you back £275 :( :-[ ;)
I've got 3 plants in the greenhouse planted in march, got small toms on the garden pearl, flowers on the gardeners delight and golden sunrise.
6 plants for outside only went out yesterday so going to be a while
Oh, thanks, Sprouty - but I think that I already have enough middle-age spread!
The water carrier - yes - much about it in the ST. But difficult to get over a one foot step into the greenhouse?
dicky - planted or sown in March? If the former, you were stealing a march on us??
Totems have a few flowers, everything else still to flower. Some not even in big pots and half a seed tray not pricked out! :o Must try to have a winter baby next time!
